Abstract: The installation for civil or industrial wastewater treatment, comprises a water filtration unit present in upstream of a vertical biological reactor, a biomass product flotation reservoir present in downstream of the reactor, and sedimentation and chlorination units. The reactor is in a tubular form surmounted by a homogenization reservoir receiving the treated water and provided with an agitation device for homogenizing the treated mass thus dividing it into two parts. The installation for civil or industrial wastewater treatment, comprises a water filtration unit present in upstream of a vertical biological reactor, a biomass product flotation reservoir present in downstream of the reactor, and sedimentation and chlorination units. The reactor is in a tubular form surmounted by a homogenization reservoir receiving the treated water and provided with an agitation device for homogenizing the treated mass thus dividing it into two parts. A part corresponding to upper third of the height of the reactor is delimited by a whole plastic material tubes disposed axially about the reactor axis. A part extends on the lower two third of the height of the reactor. The two parts are provided with air diffusers under pressure. A conduit is located at the interior of the reactor to allow the repression towards the top of the treated mass. Valves and conduits bring the treated mass towards the flotation reservoir. The reactor is provided with sensors in the two parts to measure the concentration of oxygen and to optimize while acting on the air supply through the diffusers. An opening means having a pre-denitrification reservoir is arranged. The homogenization reactor (7) is provided with aerator to transform ammoniated nitrogen present in the treated biomass into nitrate. The sedimentation unit transforms the nitrates into gas nitrogen. The conduit allows a residual nitrate part to return in the predenitrification reservoir, and push back a part of the biomass contained in the floatation reservoir towards the homogenization reservoir. An independent claim is included for a civil or industrial water treatment process.

Abstract: The present invention determines additional  a priori  information in an image encoder based on the undisturbed input image signal. As the original image data is not available in a decoder, a conventional decoder can only use decoded image data for determining adaptive filter coefficients. However, the decoded image data includes disturbances, for instance, quantization noise. The present invention generates additional filter data in an encoder based on the undisturbed image data. The additional data is attached to the corresponding encoded image data and provided to the decoder. The decoder analyzes the filter information and determines an adaptive set of filter parameters with respect to the additional  a priori  information. Based on the determined filter parameters, an adaptive filtering of the decoded image data is performed. In this way, the decoder applies an improved filtering.
